Chromium Manifest V3 Explained for a Toddler - Lemmy

Most people still haven’t heard of Manifest V3, so if you are one of those not using Firefox, this is for you.

Very useful video. I miss that you don’t list the Chromium browsers. A lot of people, the target audience of this video don’t know that edge, opera, vivaldi, brave are all affected some way.

I thought Brave wasn’t affected by this

Edit: yeah, Brave mentioned they won’t be impacted by this

V3 Manifest will it improve Brave with other joining?

With the V3 manifest looking like its going to be rolled out in the coming months will it alter what Brave is doing with regards to Ads being blocked? or will Brave be ok and can see people joining from chrome growing Brave’s market share. looked at Firefox and the user interface looks dated.Opera not even going to that one.Thank you

Brave can keep the old APIs but they’ll still be affected, because developers for Chromium-compatible browsers still have to decide whether they want to create or support apps that will only work in a subset of browsers, and figure out how to distribute them outside the Chromium store.
True. But I believe brave’s filter list at the very least, will still work.
Which probably make use of less tracker blocking techniques than specialized extensions. I mean, uBlock is able to do a lot of things, partly because of its scriptlets that lists can invoke for certain sites.

Both uBlock Origin and Brave would be nothing without the maintainers of the filters they use.

Except uBlock’s devs are transparent and supportive of the list maintainers, while Brave (AFAIK) really isn’t.

Yeah, this kinda sucks. Well, this is what I get for recommending Brave to people I know. I feared that Firefox would be too great a leap.

Also not Vivaldi, gutting out Google since 9 Years.

It’s also open to install any userscript directly, without the need of Tamper- or other monkey, if needed. The only problem for other Chromium are the by Google gutted extensions in the Chrome Store

Manifest V3, webRequest, and ad blockers

Vivaldi comes with its own built-in Ad and Tracker Blocker, tons of customization options, a built-in Mail and Calendar, and more. Will it follow Google’s strict reliance on Manifest V3?

Brave has it’s own issues. Like their owner being a total POS for example.
